I running a media card reader and was able to display all
my pictured with Windows Picture and Fax viewer and run a
slide show. Due to a system faliure My Compact flash Card
lost all the saved pictures. I instered back to the
Digital cam but was getting a error message asking to
reformat. So at this point I lost all the pictured. I'm
wondering I'm able to restore any of the viewed picture
form my cache files? or any ideas if any information was
stored in my system?

Thanks
 
I would try to recover the pictures from the card, even if you reformatted
the files are still there and should be recoverable, particularly if you did
not use the card to take more pictures.

Make a new folder on your C drive.

Name it Recovery

Go to this site:

http://www.foto-erhardt.de/modules.php?name=Downloads

Download the free file: Digital Image Recovery in your Recovery folder.

The file will be Digital Image Recovery.zip

Once in your folder you need to "unzip" or "extract" this .zip file.

When you unzip or extract this .zip file select your Recovery folder for the
destination.

You will now have the file: 32fsu21.exe in this folder.

Double click on it to install the software.

Once installed you can change the language from German to English when the
software start.

Follow the directions on your screen after you start this software, very
easy to use and very good. You only need to connect your camera with the
card, open My Computer and look under Storage with removable drive. There
should be a drive letter (E,F,G or H)for your camera. You select this letter
when the software opens to scan a drive for recovery. In order for your
computer to list the card as a drive, you may need to have one picture on
it.



Maybe you never used a zip/unzip software. If so post again and I will find
a free one for you or just use google to find one.

Several available for free.
 
Thanks for your help!

I downloaded this software and was not able to recover
any pictures. I tried different software but with no
luck. Looks like all my information was erased from my
media card.

Thanks
